Love At First Sight by John L. Haigh

It was love at first sight

It happens you know

When I gazed into her eyes

How it scared me so

She was the one

I knew it right there

How my life would be changing

It starts with a stare

She was a beauty

Inside and out

She lit up the room

She was my girl, no doubt

It was joy from then on

Some call it bliss

There is nothing about her

I don't dearly miss

Now that she's gone

I seem less of a man

So hard to move forward

If only I can

The strength that she gave me

Is all but gone now

To pick up the pieces

I just don't know how

The future's uncertain

This much I know

She gave my life purpose

How I miss her so

When I meet her again

Lord knows when or where

Our love will rekindle

It starts with a stare

I think of her often

Mostly at night

How two became one

It was love at first sight
